Space Boy (Invader Zim X Reader)

Chapter 6: The Base

I stared at the luminous house. I was afraid of going in there. It did look spooky but I was nervous about the fact that me and Zim would hang out and it would be me and him. No Dib, no anybody.

Holding on tightly to the bag of snacks I had for me and Zim, I walked over to the pathway to the door. It had a men's restroom sign on it. Why would the parents allow such an odd decoration on the front door? I swear people here can be so odd.

Gulping, I knocked on the door. To my bewilderment, the door swung open revealing two adults that came sliding out of the doorframe, causing me to stumble down on the doormat. "Welcome home son!" The mother cheered out. "What?!" I nearly shrieked. I quickly observed the two parents. They weren't parents at all, they were machines! Zim's parents were robots?! This caused me to freak out as I crawled away from the two robots.

As I stood up and almost sprinted away, I tripped on a hard object. I hit my face on the pathway. "Aw no! I dropped my cookies!" I heard a voice shout. When I lifted my head, I saw a little green dog sniffing licking the pathway. My eyes widen as I saw it look back at me. It gave me this wide eyed kinda look. It's black arms reached out as it walked over to me slowly. "Does somebody need a hug?" The dog asked me in a creepy tone.

That's when I screamed so loud I passed out.

"Gir! Why did you knock the human out?"

"I didn't do that. It went night-night. Like this!"

"I swear Gir I can't leave you alone for a few hours without messing everything up."

"Do we have sugar Master?"

"What? I don't know, why?"

"Imma go make some brownies."

"GIR! Can't you see I'm freaking out here?"

"Yeah."

"..."

"..."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Ooooohhh she wakin up!"

"Okay Gir listen to me, please just for once."

"Uh huh."

"I need you to find me some healing-tape to help stop the human's bleeding. Then I need you to fetch me some frozen-water cubes. Got that?"

"WOO HOO!"

"Now go!"

"I don't remember what you said but imma roll with it!"

I started to regain consciousness. I saw a bright light in my face. I felt comfortable. It seemed like I was laying on a couch or a bed. I felt a warm blanket wrapped around my body. Then I felt a hand, or a gloved hand touch my hair softly and sliding it off my face. When I fully opened my eyes, I felt the hand swipe away. I was slightly disappointed because of how comforting it felt. I tried sitting up but I was then pushed back down softly. "Not yet human, take it easy." I heard a sugar-coated voice.

I turned my head to meet the face of Zim. He looked a little worried. When I looked closely, it seemed like he had some turquoise hue on his green cheeks. "I normally don't do this sort of treatment for humans, but since you were nice to Zim, I wanted to return the favor." Zim told me. I smiled gratefully, causing him to almost seem even more anxious.

Zim then cleared his throat. "GIR is fetching you some healing-tape and a bagful of frozen water-cubes." Zim explains to me as he looked into a room. I heard a lot of shuffling and what I assume pots being thrown around the room.

My head was throbbing. I was rubbing my head and my temples. I felt Zim's eyes stare at me. "Yes, you've hit your human head hard on the ground. No worries though. You are going to be, uh, okay." Zim tells me, carefully choosing his words. I nodded my head slowly. I wasn't worried, I was more embarrassed. I couldn't believe I passed out on Zim's property. I couldn't have been more dramatic.

It turns out I actually can be.

When this "Gir" returned to the room, I was expecting to see a green dog again. Instead I saw a little robot prancing around the room. I shot my body straight up, causing Zim to jolt back and look at Gir.

"GIR! You are suppose to be in your disguise. Get back in it now!" Zim barked at Gir, or rather GIR now. All GIR did was look at him and started to laugh. "But Master," wait did GIR just call Zim master? Well I mean GIR was a dog but- "the human knows you're not a human. Take off your disguise!" GIR squeals in excitement.

I couldn't have been more lost.

Zim looked like he was about to lose it with the little bot. "GIR!" Zim snapped, "how dare you try to ruin my genius disguise!" I didn't see Zim without a disguise on. I just met this guy today!

I couldn't help but notice when Zim was arguing with GIR that Zim's hair was tilted off his head slightly. Now that I study closely at it, I could have sworn I saw a blackish- rod on Zim's head. GIR became hysterical and ran towards Zim. 

Before GIR wrapped his arms around his "master," I snatched the hair off of Zim's head. When I saw the two antennae on his head, I almost became lightheaded. Zim looked absolutely terrified and shocked. Zim was totally speechless. Even GIR looked stunned. "I...wha-...my hair!" Zim shouted, obviously trying to play it out. "Why would you do that to my precious hair!" He cried out as he placed the wig back on his scalp. He smiles as if he achieved something great. "Yes! Victory for Zim!" He shouts. GIR started to cheer for him and clap. I didn't know what to do. Zim kept giving me nervous glances.

He knew and I knew. There was no point in hiding anymore.

As Zim stared at me, ashamed, I took off his wig once again. The antennas popped right out. I giggled awkwardly. Zim looks down. "Human..." Zim whispers, trailing off. I almost became emotional. I couldn't believe Dib was telling the truth. I felt like a total moron.

"Zim...is it true? Are you really a...alien?"

He didn't say a word. Zim only looked into my eyes. He rubbed his arm shyly as he began to blush that turquoise color again. It was truly a sight to see.

"Yeah! And he's even got big ol eyes!" The robot added in as he jumped up into Zim's (who was feeling very awkward) face and took off, dare I say, contacts. This revealed his true eyes. Zim had these large insect-like eyes that looked like rubies. They were almost beautiful in a way. The color was something I've never seen before.

Zim was ranting to GIR about how he shouldn't invade his space and do annoying things. As he did this, I was staring at the alien. The alien boy still was blushing. His antennae seemed to flick in anger when he yelled at his robot pet. I didn't feel afraid when I looked at Zim. In fact, I almost found him, well, attractive.

As a few more moments went by of Zim lecturing GIR. Zim finally stopped and turned his attention back to me. I had so many questions for the alien. However before I could say anything, Zim looked at me with a menacing look. "I must remove your knowledge of Zim and my identity." Zim smirks nefariously.
